Album Notes & Community Reviews
Tangerine Dream inaugurated their prolific 1980s era with 'Tangram', a breathtakingly dense, highly progressive masterwork comprised of two sprawling, side-long synthesizer suites. The album successfully integrates remarkably melodic, almost pop-oriented sequencing with their signature Berlin School atmospheres, resulting in a deeply futuristic, highly rhythmic, and beautifully mechanical instrumental journey.
